I LOVE the Fall!


It always amazes me how quickly the leaves change color once the cold weather hits. As we were driving home from Andy's parents' house in Star Valley Wy. last week, it seemed as if they'd changed over night. The drive (needless to say) was gorgeous. I think I can truly say that Fall is my favorite season. Although any time I state that the current season or holiday is my favorite to Andy, he always says "whatever, you said that about the last one." Maybe I do tend to overuse the word "favorite", but not this time!
Here are a few reasons why I LOVE it:
When I go outside I can sometimes smell the aroma of a burning log coming from someones chimney.
It's so fun to get out all my jeans and warm sweaters, and put my shorts and flip-flops away!
It brings back memories of heading back to school, which (surprisingly) I do miss sometimes.
Halloween! I love everything associated with it- my decorations, going to haunted houses, Halloween parties, costumes...
The mountains are breathtaking!
Being able to turn on the heat in the house again.
It means that Thanksgiving and Christmas are just around the corner! (also 2 of my "favorites") ;)
